She used to be an ironhorse
Twenty years ago Used to bring the mail to me Through the ice and snow I've sat alone and watched her Steaming through the night Ninety tons of thunder Lighting up the sky She was a princess of the night I saw the writing on the wall She was a princess of the night I take a ride across the sky Speeding, sparks like lightning Engine working hard Furnace on the foot plate Shining in the night Iron striking metal The sound of racing steel It's all I ever wanna hear It's music to my ears She was a princess of the night I saw the writing on the wall She was a princess of the night I take a ride across the sky She was a princess of the night I saw the writing on the wall She was a princess of the night I take a ride across the sky Ninety tons of thunder Lighting up the sky Steaming red hot pistons See the wheels flash by Hear the whistle blowing Streaking down the track If I ever had my way I'd bring the princess back one day She was a princess of the night I saw the writing on the wall She was a princess of the night I take a ride across the sky (sky, sky, sky) 02. Denim And Leather
Where were you in '79 when the dam began to burst
Did you check us out down at the local show Were you wearing denim, wearing leather Did you run down to the front Did you queue for your ticket through the ice and snow Denim and Leather Brought us all together It was you that set the spirit free Denim and Leather Brought us all together It was you that set the spirit free Did you read the music paper from the back and to the front Did you find out where to see your favorite band Did you listen to the radio every Friday night Did hang around your local record store Denim and Leather Brought us all together It was you that set the spirit free Denim and Leather Brought us all together It was you that set the spirit free Do you dream of playing guitar or smashing up the drums Maybe you can learn to play the bass You can always be a singer like me and front the band When on the stage we wait at your command Denim and Leather Brought us all together It was you that set the spirit free Denim and Leather Brought us all together It was you that set the spirit free It was you - that set the spirit free It was you - that put us here today It was you - that filled the concert halls It was you - that set the spirit free Denim and Leather Brought us all together It was you that set the spirit free Denim and Leather Brought us all together It was you that set the spirit free [Repeat to end] 03. Out Of Control
Breaks away the chains that bind me
Gives me sympathy Keeps me running on the high road Keeps me living free Never tries to steal my thunder Helps me through the night Always there to help and guide me Makes me feel alright There ain't no doubt about it Just can't live without her Moves my very soul When we touch I lose control I'm outta control I lose control I'm outta control When I feel depressed and lonely She never asks me why Always knows just when to leave me When I start to lie Tries to think about the next day So I can survive When I come home tired and weary She keeps me satisfied There ain't no doubt about it Just can't live without her Moves my very soul When we touch I lose control She breaks away the chains that bind me Gives me sympathy Keeps me running on the high road Keeps me living free Never tries to steal my thunder Helps me through the night Always there to help and guide me Makes me feel alright There ain't no doubt about it Just can't live without her Moves my very soul When we touch I lose control I'm outta control I lose control I'm outta control [Repeat to end] 04. Never Surrender
I was born on the back streets
On the rotten side of town I never had me nothin' Just people puttin' me down Living on the dark side Across the railroad track Leaving wasn't easy But I'm never going back Never surrender When you're up against the world Never surrender Stand up fight them all Never surrender When you're up against the world Never surrender Stand up fight them all I'm sticking in the fast lane I never wanna quit I'm taking all my chances I'm gonna take 'em quick I started at the bottom But I'm headed to the top Ain't nobody gonna hold me back 'Cause I'm never gonna stop Never surrender When you're up against the world Never surrender Stand up fight them all Never surrender When you're up against the world Never surrender Stand up fight them all I was born on the back streets On the rotten side of town I never had me nothin' Just people puttin' me down I'm living on the darkside Across the railroad track Leaving wasn't easy But I'm never going back Never surrender When you're up against the world Never surrender Stand up fight them all [Repeat to end] 05. Rough And Ready
Well, you're brought up on the street
Did ya make it on your own Are ya living in the shadow Crawling in the night Sleeping in the subway Beggin' for a fight Makes ya grow up hard, boy Aren't you ready for a fight I don't need no one You can keep you sympathy I live on my own I would make that company I don't need no one You can keep you sympathy I live on my own I would make that company I'm rough and ready tonight Crawling in the night Standing on the corner Asked ya for smoke I kick you in the deep, boy Steel away you girl Talked into a night fight They cut me to the bone Don't ya mess with me, boy Ya better leave me alone I would make that company I don't need no one You can keep you sympathy I live on my own I would make that company I don't need no one You can keep you sympathy I live on my own I would make that company I'm rough and ready tonight Maybe seeing a call girl I'll take ya for a ride The cops will never break me Steal away my pride If you're looking for a good time And ya wanna ride with me And you're feeling rough and ready Rough and ready with me You can change my life You can read my mind I don't want no one I don't have no one I don't need no one You can keep your sympathy Well, you're brought up on the street Did ya make it on your own Sleeping in the subway Begging for a fight Makes ya grow up hard, boy Ain't you ready for a fight I don't need no one You can keep you sympathy I live on my own I don't need no one You can keep you sympathy I live on my own I would make that company I'm rough and ready tonight Rough and ready tonight [Repeat to end] 06. And The Bands Played On
Just before dawn in the cold light
We came out of the night A great expectation from the man who ran the show Will it rain, will it snow, will it shine, we don't know Are there clouds up in the sky We sat in the sun, woah-oh-oh And the bands played on And the bands played on And the bands played on See the people, feel the power There was sixty thousand there Just like thunder the crowds began to roar Where you there, did ya know, did ya see all the show There was magic in the air We sat in the sun woah-oh-oh And the bands played on And the bands played on And the bands played on See the rainbow shining brightly Shooting rockets to the sky Making music and it rolled on through the night You could hear on the air rock n' roll everywhere We were strangers in the night We sat in the sun woah-oh-oh And the bands played on And the bands played on And the bands played on And the bands played on And the bands played on 07. Midnight Rider
Ride the silver eagle out of JFK
Up the eastern seaboard destination Portland Maine When we saw the people at the concert hall The seats were for five thousand it made us feel so small Midnight rider keeps on rollin' On our journey 'cross the States Midnight rider keeps on rollin' Right on through the USA Stopped off at Niagara taking pictures of the falls Tried to cross the border were accosted by the law People down in Texas from the red hot burning sun They couldn't stand the heatwave but we just kept rollin' on Midnight rider keeps on rollin' On our journey 'cross the States Midnight rider keeps on rollin' Right on through the USA Driving into Nashville on the highway interstate Had a holdup on the freeway we end up being late Flew into Chicago but we never heard the blues Played some rock 'n' roll there then down to Batton Rouge Midnight rider keeps on rollin' On our journey 'cross the States Midnight rider keeps on rollin' Right on through the USA Midnight rider keeps on rollin' On our journey 'cross the States Midnight rider keeps on rollin' Right on through the USA Fought the vigilante at the end of our first tour We made a lot of friends there we'll see them all next year As we fought the big deadline, oh, we won't forget the days We rode the silver eagle right across the USA Midnight rider keeps on rollin' On our journey 'cross the States Midnight rider keeps on rollin' Right on through the USA Midnight rider keeps on rollin' On our journey 'cross the States Midnight rider keeps on rollin' Right on through the USA Midnight rider [Repeat to end] 08. Fire In The Sky
There's a fire in the sky
There's a feeling in the air When the ground starts to tremble The first attack is here You won't stand a chance When the missiles start to fly They never tell the people Till the holocaust is here When the fire's in the sky You'll be running for your lives When the fire's in the sky Prepare yourselves to die Where, where are the shelters They said they would be there You'll need, need some protection From the radiation flare Don't, don't start a panic It won't do you no good You'll just have to wait For the end of all mankind If you're near the point of impact There's nowhere you can run If the heatwave don't get you The shockwave surely will There won't be no more heroes There's no one left to fight It's the end of our planet We'd commit eternal sight When the fire's in the sky You'll be running for your lives When the fire's in the sky Prepare yourselves to die When the fire's in the sky You'll be running for your lives When the fire's in the sky Prepare yourselves to die To die, to die, to die ... 09. Play It Loud
I was driving down the highway my music playing loud
I drove into a truckstop stepped up feelin' proud The stupid gas attendant said "stop that fucking row" There's always someone somewhere who'll try and turn you down So if you need some action and nothing comes around Don't call the doctor turn up the sound Play it loud In your neighbourhood Play it loud In your neighbourhood I was lying on the beach taking the rays Listening to Deep Purple reminiscing of old days I was hassled by a lifeguard so I kicked him to the ground There's always someone somewhere who'll try and turn you down So if you need some action and nothing comes around Don't call the doctor turn up the sound Play it loud In your neighbourhood Play it loud In your neighbourhood I'm sick of people saying our music is too loud They never stop complaining, try to turn us down But if you want it louder we'll turn it up full blast They'll never stop the music they're living in the past So if you need some action and nothing comes around Don't call the doctor turn up the sound Play it loud In your neighbourhood [Repeat to end] |
